First, a little tweet of science visualization in yarn->>

I’ve finally finished my year-long project of a temperature blanket. Each day recorded in colour coded yarn dependant on the average temperature that day. No idea what I will do with it now, it’s ridiculously long! pic.twitter.com/QvV9uN57EX

Now, some details I see from your work in round 1.  First, some new and specific source/citation details. The ONLY paragraph you absolutely need formal citation is the EVALUATION NODE PARAGRAPH No. 6) where you summarize some key findings from either:

• Charles Moore for Team Paper (use the library databases to find a co-authored peer reviewed article form the marine biology discipline); OR
• Martin Hocking for Team Styro (use the library databases to find one of his two peer reviewed article from the field of environmental technology)

Here is some connecting, aka transition language to help you move from the pivot paragraph (no. 5) that defines LCA from the authoritative EPA source I gave you last week:

Moore's work on the fate of ocean plastic is, essentially, a both a definition and quantification of the "grae" portion of plastic disposal (including Styrofoam). 

Hocking's work, though seemingly dated, covers the entire life cycle of both paper and Styrofoam cups, making his work an LCA even though this method was not articulated until the 2000s

How do you cite EPA in paragraph 5?  You have two choices. One is to use a referral link and paraphrase.  The other is to use a block quote, which will require both a referral link and a formal citation. 

I have mentioned how important transitions are.  Let's look at brief Google document on transitions, taken from a real-world setting. We will be looking at tight transitions and loose transitions.

Primary question from the Eli Review work concerned the other really hard paragraph (the hardest paragraph is Para 6, the node paragraph where you summarize some research from your primary "vetting" scientist).  This is Para 4, also a node paragraph.  Here are your referral link sources to use here.

• For Moore and Team Paper, use one of his Captain Moore website pages (or the YouTube video linked earlier) for a summary.
• For Hocking and Team Paper, use the policymakers' summary PDF from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC (most recent report (2022).

CAUTION: the IPCC pdf is huge. Keep this in mind with your curation.

Note: both climate change and ocean plastic are common knowledge domains at the level of detail we are using here.

Hint: both of these paragraphs need the logos of detail.  In each case be sore to capture some quantity about these problems.  Examples:

How large are the garbage patches and how many are there?

What is the temperature uptick we have locked in, thus far, and what are we trying to limit too?

In Hockings' analysis, how much more energy is required for paper cups? (PEER REVIEWED)

In Moore's analysis, what are some of the specific effects like numbers of sea life harmed, damage to the food chain, etc. (PEER REVIEWED).

Watch for Wednesday. Will help us with how the problems are linked and this analysis is flawed but useful.
